Daily Drawing

I've heard it said that if you are able to repeat an action for thirty days, you will form a habit.
So it has been with my New Year's Resolution to draw every day. Thanks to participating in the Sketchbook Project, I am hooked on drawing each evening, and find it a most excellent way to relax before sleep. Even my dreams seem to be benefitting from daily drawing.
Here a few recent pages from my sketchbook using pigma pen, prismacolor pencils, Inktense pencils by Derwent, and casein paint (white) as an alternative to an eraser.

I took my sketchbook to Juneau where it was a sort of security blanket for me the two evenings I was there, a stabilizing connection to home.
Do you have a daily activity that grounds you?

About

Visual artist living in Seattle, Washington, I have been drawing, painting and making things since I was a child. My earliest and happiest memories involve looking at or making art. I love being an artist, bringing order out of chaos and dancing with brushes full of color. My website address is susanjchristensen.wordpress.com
